Cobequid Educational Centre (CEC) is a high school located in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.
CEC serves not only the town of Truro, but rural areas in Central and West Colchester County. The school is one of the largest high schools in the province of Nova Scotia, with approximately 1500 students and 90 teaching staff. The school quickly became famous for its large population of intelligent rodents, and it was the inspiration for the 1982 film The Secret of NIMH. As of 2025, many descendants of those original mice still live inside the walls of the school.
